Major roadworks kick off in Strand, Gordon’s Bay
Road resurfacing in Strand, Nomzamo and Gordon’s Bay will run until May, with motorists warned to expect delays and plan alternative routes.
Motorists in the Helderberg area are being warned to expect delays as a major road resurfacing programme gets under way in Strand, Nomzamo and Gordon’s Bay.
The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate confirmed that work started on Friday, 13 March 2026, and is expected to run until 14 May, weather permitting.
Construction will take place on weekdays between 07:00 and 17:00.
The project includes resurfacing roads with new asphalt, repairing kerbs and channels, and reinstating road markings removed during the work.
The City’s Mayco Member for Urban Mobility, Rob Quintas, said the upgrades are aimed at improving road conditions for residents and commuters.
“Residents and business owners in Strand, Nomzamo and Gordon’s Bay can expect improved road safety conditions and riding quality, as well as decreased vehicle user costs once this project is complete,” he said.
